Berlin Bits,

New York Associated Press The Off
cial press, in repeating its report OF the
denial that the Gear was to have a
nesting with Emperor William, uses
language of plain and almost ostenta-
tious enmity towards Russia The in
terviewis declared to be not a mere
matter Of indifference, but as objected
to by high personages in Germany The
personal relations between the Car
and Emperor William, once SO imp ort-
ant factor in European politics, can
not longer continue on the cd footing
of intimacy, as the position Of Germany
towards her allies. Austria and Itaity,
forbids 1t. The anti-German proclivities
OF the present Gar are contrasted with
the lifelong friendship of his father for
Emperor William, and his people, and
the conclusion is drawn that the inter
view would be unpleasant to both sides.
Besides these strongly suggestive COM
ments, there is an increasing evidence
of strained relations between Berlin
and st. Petersburg.
The Russian press censor per
mitted yesterdays NOVoe VremyG to
predict such an early action by
Russia or Bulgaria as would defeat the
objects of the triple alliance and show
that Russia is neither isolated nor in
capable OF carrying out her victorious
policy.
The Panslavish papers are having
free play in denouGcing Germany.
The Cars route for returning to Rus
STA is the subject of daily surmise, as it
is considered inadvisable that he touch
German soil. aud the frozen Baltic may
make his homeward journey matter
of limited choice. Yesterday the route
fixed was by Riga, or Libau. or ice
blocked Cronstadt; any way, it is de
clared that the Gar must not pass
through Germany.
The economic way between Russia
and Germany has had fresh develop
ment in the Cars ukase' giving Eng
lsh and French imports preference
rates, English goods obtaining a remis-
sion of % per cent, because England
levies no duty on Russian corn, and
French goods at a l0-per-cent. rebate,
because of the limited duty levied by
France on Russian corn. The obvious
aim of the edict is to strike a blow at
the German trade. To these evidences
of hostility are now added the Increased
military preparations on the frontier
The Russian press prophesies that
important diplomatic action will be
taken by the Cars government
| soon after his return to Moscow. The
menaces, however, do not alarm Ger
many, which is confident of her own
| strength and the security OF the triple
alliance.
An ambiguous "officist communique,"
coming from Moscow tonight, is Civ
! ing rise to various surmises as to the
Czar's designs.
Count Lamsdorff, director of the
Cars diplomatic bureau, who
hagen, brought an utterance
the press, is that an imme-
date solution of the Bulgarian
crisis should be found. Not word
more to communicate TO explain
the act WelI-informed officials regard
the utterance as pacific one, and 1t is
supposed to point to some new diplo-
{ matte scheme for the settlement of the
Bulgarian question.
The Bismarck. Crishi arrangement to
establish a nloduS viUe7ldi between the
Holy See and Italy has not prospered.
Advices from Rome to Germany state
that Prince Bismarck intimated to the
Vatican, that he was authorized to in
form the Holy See what concessions the
Italian government was disposed to
offer. At the same time, Prince Bis
for the conduct, officially, of
the negotiation, and merely offered
to be the friendly medium. The
Vatican's reply was the query whether
Italy would acknowledge the absolute
independence of the Holy See, with a
restitut ton of a part of Rome as the
Popes sine qua non, Signor Crishi did
not entertain these terms, and Prince
Bismarck's action in the meantime has
ceased.
A new cause for fierce quarrel has
arisen in the law abolishing the Polish |
language in the schools in the Polish
speaking provinces of Posen, West |
Prussia and Silesia. The Catho-
lie press declares that the clergy |
will not obey the law, and that |
they cannot share in the campaign |
against the national language, in which |
the people learn their religious and |
moral duties. A portion of the Pro- |
gressist press approves this defiance of |
the Catholics and predicts that in its |
struggle with the church, the govern
u 1T will find the decree paralyzed. The |
centrist discussion of the question
shows q disposition to submit to the
cessation of the use of the Polish Ian
guage as means of instruction on all
subjects except religious teachings. But
the party is ready for prolonged and
bitter contest against the absolute abo.
lition of the language. The decree
went into force on the LIST inst. d
The Emperor will go with a shooting
party to the Hartz Mountains on Tues
day, but the doctors have protested
that such journey will be injudicious,
unless the weather grows milder.
After arriving from Baden, yester-
